Hoping there's finally a 4th Crusade in the game.

So I started a game with the intention of being a loyal vassal. Randomly chose the chief of Zvolej it whatever it’s called.

Character’s father is the duke, elective succession, I’m the heir. Father died within 3 years of game start.

Evidently I’m just so good the game won’t let me be the small fry.

On 1066, find the count of Aargau, Werner von Habsburg. Then you will have the ultimate CK2 experience.

If interested, one can also take advantage of the new bloodlines feature with the Count of Vermandois in 1066, Herbert IV, the only landed Carolingian remaining in direct line of descent from Charlemagne.  Rebuild the big blue blob from a single county.

It always struck me as odd how in real life, dynasties tended to be really short but in CK2, your dynasty is eternal.

I guess it's just how the game is, since if you lose your dynasty you straight up lose.

Yeah basically.
Otherwise you do see dynasties dying out

AI dynasties seem to die off regularly enough, but the game isn't too hard, so it's not surprising that player ones last a while.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Argh. I keep wanting to play the game, but the next update is going to improve on so many of the things I want to do (e.g. make Finland look nice, fix inheritance bordergore in early start dates via exclave independence, improve Crusades) that if I start a game right now it'll be disappionting :/

If your looking for a new campaign to try, the World of Darkness mod just updated to what I consider a playable point:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/mod-princes-of-darkness-vampires-werewolves-etc.808621/
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1333219891

Currently its only really worth playing European vampires at the 1230 start. The middle-eastern and Indian vamps don't seem to have much content, and the rest of the supernatural creatures are pretty much placeholders right now.

I'm looking forward to the random map generator... I hope it plays nice with the features of DLC
Is it a random *map* generator like the EU4 DLC thingy, or just a random political generator? The screenshot looks like the "or on a random map with historical analogues for the great kingdoms of yore" rather than a shattered world of counts and dukes, so I'm not sure if they intended to add a random geography generator too or if it's just an ambiguous wording.

Quote from: Holy Fury Announcement
Shattered and Random Worlds: Start your game on a fictional map of Europe as a small realm fighting for space, or on a random map with historical analogues for the great kingdoms of yore.

The announcement makes me think that it's both. A random political generator and a random map generator. Probably because they had the one from EU4 already and went 'We can merge these'.

Neither of those games are published by Paradox, so they can't and won't. As for modders doing it, that's already possible and probably won't get any easier in particular with this addition. Neither of those games information to make a great gameplay experience, though Dominions maps at least have provinces.

If we can be a 500 year old lich from daggerfall in a multiplayer with spotty connection then we should also be able to collect and sacrifice virgins by the hundreds in order to build and maintain our army of ghost legionaries and moss-people that are commanded by angels.


and cthulhu-faces are one of the weaker underwater races, sooo, that insanity event is actually just you punking a punk.

That's done by extensive modding. An import utility is never going to have that ability.
